Bill Maher reminds Democrats that Donald Trump is like a shark that’s not gone, just gone out to sea – and he’ll be back to destroy democracy in 2024.

Arizona Heros: Brianna Westbrook
Arizona House of Representatives needs Brianna Westbrook
Brianna Westbrook (Democratic Party) is running for election to the Arizona House of Representatives to represent District 24. She declared candidacy for the Democratic primary scheduled on August 2, 2022.
“Brianna Westbrook isn’t your typical politician. As a child growing up in poverty, her source of food was dumpster diving every day. She witnessed substance abuse and experienced domestic violence. Brianna’s great-grandparents took her in, and she spent two years learning the meaning of hard work on their apple orchard. As a teenager, she graduated from high school with no parental support. As a young parent, Brianna returned to Arizona to be the primary provider for her siblings. For years, she worked blue-collar jobs to keep her family afloat. At 27 years old, Brianna documented her transition story to normalize the experiences of trans women.” 1

Yes, Heros Do Exist: Democrat Rep. Ruben Gallego
Phoenix Family Back in Arizona
“Palazzo and her colleagues at Lutheran Social Services jumped into action, putting aside their usual duties assisting refugees in Arizona to take on what had become a matter of life and death: helping the Phoenix family get out of Kabul.
In addition to maintaining daily contact with the woman and her family, the Lutheran Social Services team reached out to U.S. Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Arizona
Gallego, along with his staff, worked with the U.S. State Department to relay critical information to U.S. military personnel staffing the gates at the airport in Kabul, including photos of the Phoenix family so that they could be identified at the gates.” 2 [PDF]

Obviously Money Corrupts? The Story of Kyrsten Sinema
Prior to her Senate run she tweeted, “Asking big corporations & the rich to pay their fair share is common sense, not class warfare.” – Wow! Just another Big Lie. Twitter
Big Pharma in the Hip Pocket
“Joe Biden allies ran ads thanking Kyrsten Sinema for fighting for lower drug prices — just before she did the exact opposite by opposing Democrats’ drug pricing plan.” 3
“Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, the controversial Arizona Democrat who threatens to derail President Biden’s legislative agenda, received more than $750,000 in donations from the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. After that, she announced her opposition to a Democratic plan to lower prescription drug costs.” 4
Kyrsten Sinema has received over $750,000 from Big Pharma. Her office is led by a former lobbyist whose firm worked on behalf of pharmaceutical companies.

And now she’s trying to tank a bill to lower drug prices.
This is the power of big money, folks.Here’s @kyrstensinema just 8 months before announcing her senate run. Walk us through what’s changed since then, Kyrsten, other than the amount of donations you’ve pocketed from corporations. pic.twitter.com/a9vkqYDfwC
— Andrew Wortman 🏳️🌈 (@AmoneyResists) September 30, 2021Her Ring Says It All
“The battle over the budget deal is not the first time Sinema has bucked her party since Biden became president. In March, she was one of eight Democrats to vote against a minimum wage increase in the pandemic relief bill and enraged many liberals by doing so with a jaunty thumbs-down. Her office claimed the criticism was sexist, and the following month Sinema posted a photo of herself wearing a ring that said, “F*** off.”” 5
